So following the advice about re-starting cgminer the device came back online but only hashed at 40ghs average after several hours. I restarted and had similar rates. Thinking the only change I made was flashing the firmware to the latest version, I decided to try and go back to an earlier firmware. It never stopped flashing. Does this mean the controller is a goner?

Tried the re-set button. Can't see the device on the network or communicate via direct cable.

How does one go about getting a replacement S3 controller? Presuming I can't get an RMA, can they be purchased?

Any ideas to get it back to a working firmware?

Thanks again.

Sounds like the same thing happened to you as me. Based on Bitmain's reply above, i think it is the controler that's gone.

I have tried for several hrs to get mine running again. no luck. I have a few days left on my warranty and am hoping they give me a replacement controller.
